As a Saskatoon real estate agent I have not slowed down much in the past few months so it seems that the activity in Saskatoon real estate market is steady but it is neither a buyer’s market or a seller’s market but still more of a balanced market in Saskatoon in general. There are certain price ranges that are always quite busy and in demand.
